Coaching Up Close: The Skill of Asking Permission

By Rachel Brooks | June 20, 2019
June Coaching Up Close:

The Skill of Asking Permission

Asking permission means just that: asking permission to share a skill, a tool, an idea, a hunch, or anything that comes from YOU. The coaching relationship is participant-driven. If you share your thoughts without asking permission, you have taken over the coaching session and you are actually coaching your agenda, not theirs. What we’ll cover:
  • Letting participants know they are in the driver’s seat to help build trust and intimacy
  • Listening and respecting when participants say, “No”
  • Questions you can ask to share your ideas

Thank you to all of our attendees! Join us next time for another short coffee break-length webinar about holding the focus–one of the four core coaching skills. Wednesday, July 17, 2019 | 10:00 AM PST People can easily get off track. The skill of Holding the Focus directs a conversation back to someone’s vision, purpose, goal, or commitment. This happens when the agenda is set and throughout the conversation. Sometimes a detour even tie can right in! We’ll share some powerful questions that can unearth good insights while holding the focus.

May Coaching Up Close:

Starting Conversations About Money

Talking about money can be hard, for both coaches and participants. We’ll introduce several low-pressure ways to start conversations about money without needing to be a financial expert.

What we cover:

  • Creating positive, supportive, experiences that build awareness of personal beliefs and habits around money
  • Valuing lived experience when it comes to money, avoiding lectures, and reducing judgement
  • Reducing financial anxiety so participants can fully engage with financial conversations, education, and planning

Coaching Up Close: Nurturing a Growth Mindset Inside Your Organization

By Rachel Brooks | April 17, 2019
April Coaching Up Close:

Nurturing a Growth Mindset Inside Your Organization

In this month’s mini-webinar, we discuss growth mindsets. A growth mindset, at an individual level, is the belief that our abilities can be learned and developed. But how do we nurture a growth mindset within our organization and what impact does that have on the people we coach?

What we cover:

  • What does an organizational growth mindset mean?
  • How is a growth mindset modeled and manifested in an organization?
  • Nurturing a growth mindset as a process, and not an event.

Coaching Up Close: Hiring Coaching-Inclined People

By Rachel Brooks | March 13, 2019
March Coaching Up Close:

Hiring Coaching-Inclined People

In this month’s mini-webinar, we discuss how hiring coaching-inclined people allows your organization to sustain how staff adopt and operationalize coaching relationships and culture. By using language in your hiring process that emphasizes the importance of listening, understanding the complexity of people’s lives, and building on strengths, you are more likely to attract people across your organization that embrace curiosity and drive financial wellness coaching for families.

Building and strengthening a coaching culture requires coaching practices and principles that are integrated throughout the organization. This ranges from program design, people management, fundraising, to evaluating and measuring impact. We developed the Coaching Accelerator program to design and test several tools that measure, fund, and maintain a coaching culture.

Coaching Up Close: Communicating the Value of Coaching to Different Audiences

By Rachel Brooks | February 14, 2019
February Coaching Up Close:

Communicating the Value of Coaching to Different Audiences

In our February Mini-Webinar, we put ourselves in the shoes of different audience members to connect to what is important to them. When we talk about the “why” of coaching rather than the “what” of coaching, we can find common purpose and vision with anyone we communicate with.

What we covered:

  • How to communicate the benefits of coaching with different audiences
  • A template to distill the “why” of coaching into a 30 second pitch
  • Discover and communicate your “secret sauce”
